Kids who speak Spanish at home
They speak Spanish at home. Now they can read and write it too.
Many kids understand and speak Spanish with their family but get stuck when they read, write or add the accents. I've taught native speakers in Dual Language programs, and I know how to build on what they already have.

Questions
My child understands Spanish but answers in English. Can you help?
Yes, that's very common. We build their confidence to speak in Spanish little by little, with topics they care about.
Are classes taught in Spanish?
Yes, almost always. I switch to English when it helps a student understand something new.
Could this help my child earn the Seal of Biliteracy?
It can be a great path. We prepare for the exams that count toward it, like AP Spanish. Your school counselor can confirm which ones apply.
